[Tectonos] Session "Collision of microplates" at EGU Vienna 2013

[Graciela Vujovich]

Dear colleague,

We would like to invite you to participate in the session GD5.3/TS6.12 
"Orogenesis and Geodynamics related to the collision with microplates" 
at the European Geosciences Union, General Assembly Vienna, Austria 
(7-12 April, 2013 - deadline for submitting abstracts: January 9, 2013).

In the past decades the worldwide and time-independent existence of 
numerous fossil microplates ("exotic terranes") has been confirmed. The 
collision of these microplates with continental plates is an important 
phenomenon of lateral crustal growth. Crucial are geological processes 
within the collisional zone, which are relatively reduced in space and 
often related to specific parts of major orogens. However, its evolution 
through time is generally very heterogeneous and hence still little 
understood. Better resolution of this specific tectonic environment 
requires process-oriented studies of different disciplines and 
expertise. Thus, we invite contributions on all methodological aspects 
and approaches related to this specific topic by petrologists, 
geochronologists, structural geologists, sedimentologists, and 
geophysicists. Field studies as well as modelling are welcome. We are 
looking forward to a sound and vivid interdisciplinary discussion.

Hans-Joachim Massonne and Arne Willner

P.S.: Please forward this announcement also to colleagues who might be 
interested!
